...stands almost 6 ft. tall and weighs 195 lbs., but John Robinson was nearly invisible. No one knew what he did for a living.

...board on two wheels, steered with handlebars and propelled by foot. The new versions, however, are made from lightweight metals, sport faster and more shock-absorbent wheels, are narrow enough to thread through congested sidewalks and have collapsible steering columns for portability. The top-selling Razor weighs about 6 lbs. and, when folded, can fit into a backpack. Unlike a bike, it requires no lock or parking space and incurs no hostile stares when crammed on a commuter train at rush hour...
